I find that the sooner we grill them the more tender the meat - and the less heat the tastier the meat - so I make a fire in a portable braai (Weber) and sometimes from full flight to ready-to-eat can take less than 10 minutes - I like the meat rare (raw) with salt, pepper, lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil - my mouth is watering (not kidding) I shoot pigeons in the autumn – I get permission from sunflower seed and corn farmers who are only too happy to have us reduce their numbers.

They are barnies, which are merely the country cousins of the flying rats of K Street. You can only shoot 2 band-tails a day now, which is hardly worth the effort. Sadly, no, Eileen.

I have lots of duck recipes there. I think you have teal if they are that small. I recently wrote about teal, so <a href="http://www.honest-food.net/blog1/2008/01/16/a-meal-of-teal/" rel="nofollow"><b>this may help you.</b></a> Cheers, h. Jenne,

I was given a bunch of wild duck, they are small. Probably 2-3/serving. would appreciate any input. I’m looking for recipes for wild duck. I was given a bunch of wild duck, they are small.

The green sauce sounds very tasty, like a good chimmichurri. As always, you've done a fantastic job of pairing wild game with home-grown produce.
